Want to put an offer in on the home and need a pro Forma document , can it be done quickly and not break the bank so I don’t miss out on this home?
My wife and kids are moving out of state we are going through divorce and waiting in court date for non contested divorce. I have found a house I want to buy and want to put in an offer. My wife doesn’t want anything to do with the house or any compensation for it/from it. Can I put an offer... View More

Yes and No:
NO, because if you do it will be considered to be Community Property subject to division by the Court. The "inception of title" begins with signing an Earnest Money Contract, not closing/receiving the Deed.
YES. However, there is a specific way to structure... View More
I am still married but was separated (not legally) and I had already begun the process of getting divorced when I got pregnant. I filed for child support on the biological father and then I was served a petition to establish paternity. My husband and I have since decided not to get divorced and try... View More

This can be complicated.
The child will be legally presumed to be a child of the marriage/your husband's child. The Bio F will have to overcome that presumption.
First thing you need to do is have a response (called an "Answer") timely filed to the bio F's... View More
I have two boys ages 4 & soon to be 3 years old. I have been receiving some child support for a few months now. At the time we had our mediation I had no issues with visitations. We've had many differences since. I would like to fight for him to at least have supervised visitations or... View More

We do not share information on who we date with one another. I am ready to remarry. Since remarriage doesn't usually affect child support payments, am I required to submit some form of notification to the other parent or can I keep my life private. This is under the assumption that the new... View More

No. Not unless your Decree has some unusual provision ordering you to do so, which I highly doubt and would be invalid.

The child support would be addressed in the divorce. You don’t need a separate OAG case.
My ex has been keeping my daughter from me for a number of years. He tells everyone he has full custody, the last court papers I received, said joint custody. I need some serious help but don't make a lot of money because of going to school and providing for my two other children. Where do I... View More

Your best bet is to somehow borrow money from family and hire a lawyer. If you cannot do that, you should seek out Legal Aid or some Pro Bono clinic where you live and see if you can get a lawyer for free based on being indigent.
You theoretically are entitled to represent yourself but I... View More
He confessed to cheating on me since March and left in June. Our kids are 22,20&18 and our youngest is in school. He runs his own company. Do I need to file for divorce? Am I entitled to part of the company? Am I entitled to child support? Or any kind of financial help from him?

You may have a common law marriage. It requires proof of three elements: 1. Agreement to consider yourselves married; 2. Cohabitation in the State of Texas; 3. Holding out/representing to the public that you are married.
The third one is usually the disputed issue. You can prove it by... View More

Absent a court order to the contrary, you both are equally entitled to possession of the child. Therefore, if you can get possession of the child and leave in a manner which does not expose the child to harm or makes you commit criminal conduct, you may take the child.
Whether you SHOULD do... View More
My 10 year old came to me crying stating he feels he is in a tug of war between myself (mother) and his grandmother. She undermines my parenting as much as she can when my son goes over to her house. Example- his teacher said he wasn’t doing well in class because he “just doesn’t care” so I... View More

Hire a lawyer to file a Petition to Modify the last order giving GM visitation. And, if your court order permits, take your child to see a mental health professional (one who doesn’t mind testifying in court!) and get the counselor to back you up.
The tax bills are in his name. He says that I don't own any part of the three lots in Benbrook, Texas because they show him as "owner". I told him that Texas is a community property State. He doesn't believe that I have a part of the ownership.

Texas is a community property state, but if you didn’t marry by marriage license, you will have to prove you are common law married.
You may qualify but it is an intensely fact dependent determination. Call me tomorrow at 817-338-4500 if you would like to meet with me me to analyze your case.
When I started paying child support 4 years ago I had I job where I was making decent money. I lost that job shortly after but my child support amount 4 years later is still the same amount from when I was working that job. Ive made several attempts to get it changed because I don't make no... View More
My sister is pregnant and due in about 2 weeks she does not want the baby and is willing to sign over all her rights to me she does not know who the dad of the baby is how would I go about getting custody of the baby so I can take it home from the hospital when it is born?

Honestly it’s too involved of a process to describe quickly here.
Conservatorship, Adoption and Termination are described in Chapters 153, 160 and 161.
You DEFINITELY need a lawyer. Doing this wrong could result in criminal prosecution and severe penalties. I can help you or... View More
I am needing to know if I have a case or not. I have gotten different answers from different attorneys. My son’s grandparents sued me for visitation when their son died. My son was 3 and is now 10. They alienate my parenting with undermining and play “good cop, bad cop” so my rules don’t... View More

Maybe.
You're asking two questions, first about grandparent visitation and second about lifting the Geo Restriction.
You probably have a good shot at the first.
I would need a whole lot more information to give you an opinion about the second. Where are you now? where... View More

First, I don't understand your question but second, if you're in Okla., you need to ask an Okla lawyer.
Good luck.
I have great insurance on my son. It is just that you have to go in-network to get the benefits. If she doesn’t use it and runs up bills, do I still have to pay 1/2 of out of pocket costs? I pay a large premium for insurance for him and also have a health savings card for meds and deductibles. Help!
answered on Sep 20, 2019
Your court order should have provisions stating that whoever uses out of network providers then has to pay 100% of the out of pocket/uninsured expense. That provision used to be part of the standard language in court orders but the form changed several yrs ago to delete it, not sure why. If your... View More

You should consult with an Elder Law/Estate Planning attorney. This is for Family Law questions.
So her new husband could adopt them. Do the children have a right to his property and get to decide how and where he will be buried? Also our mother and father are deceased. As the oldest sibling do I have the right to make these decisions. My brother had no will.
Thank you!

It depends. If his rights were formally terminated by a Texas court order, that order would have normally had a paragraph stating whether the rights to inherit were terminated as well. Get a copy of that order and call me or consult an attorney.
